This song takes some time and some skill to learn. It's not TOO difficult, but
if you can't hammer/pull/slide very fast or good, it will be hard.

-|---------------3------------|--------------|- times.

That's about it. If you sit down and just practice with it while listening
to the CD, you should be able to get it in about 10-20 minutes. Enjoy.
